Hello,
I requested that the obfs4proxy package in Debian jessie be ported to wheezy-backports, [0] however, it seems this is extremely unlikely to happen because it would mean backporting pretty much every Golang package in existence.
I would be super stoked if we could make it as easy and seamless as possible for the Bridge operators who are still running obfs2 (!!) to move to supporting better, newer Pluggable Transports. Currently recommended PTs to run are: obfs3, obfs4, scramblesuit, and fteproxy. When Tor Browser 4.5 becomes stable (probably in mid-April 2015), we'll want lots more obfs4 Bridges! For the super adventurous sysadmins who'd like to try Yawning's experimental new post-quantum PT, Basket [1] is one of the newest PTs.
We should probably come up with some easy instructions for operators of Tor Bridge relays who are running Debian stable, such as adding an Apt pin to pull in only the obfs4proxy package and its dependencies from Debian jessie and keep everything else pinned to stable. If someone has done this, or has another simple solution, would you mind writing up some short how-to on the steps you took, please?
